Stephen has been captivating audiences for the past thirty years with his unique use of colour and texture. Originally influenced by his years of travel throughout Asia and South America, Stephen now draws inspiration from the natural world. Isolating various elements found in nature, Stephen incorporates their essence into abstract and impressionist compositions, creating a body of work that transcends language and invokes a sense of wonder. Layers of paint and texture engage the viewer who is invited to bring his/her own perceptions to the paintings.
Stephen studied at Wilfrid Laurier University and the Ontario College of Art. He reaches his audience through public exhibitions, galleries, private showings and studio visits.
